I've gripped wheelguns, and autos differently for years, but after shooting a friends' compact glock 357SIG, I must say grip requirements are more varied than I thought.
If your grip varies with gun and conditions, please specify what conditions make that change necessary.

I try to have the trigger hand gripping as light as possible to improve trigger pull. The off hand provides a firmer grip.

I can't figure out why I shoot so much better DA one handed than SA two handed with my S&W M686, but one handed with a relatively loose grip is how I shoot best.

I would describe my grip as a "medium" grip. Not too hard or limp :confused:

[Navy joe]

Dead weasel. Movement from recoil pivots the shoulders up, easy motion to recover onto target, can't stand gun squirrelling around in my hand.

[Neal Bloom]

Light to medium grip. If I strangle it like a weasel I can't keep a steady sight. With some guns I do shoot better one-handed.

I like a light to medium grip but I do shoot better when I grip it hard but not so hard as to cause shakes. When I don't think about it, I have a rather loose grips by some standards but it seems the more I shoot the firmer I grip the gun naturally, that must be why I am getting better at pistol shooting latly.

I have a FM Detective that jamms if I hold it to tightly, I have to force myself to use a loose grip on it.

[Monkeyleg]

Same as Firestar. I grip it firmly, but not so much that my hands shake (they do that already ;) . That's the grip for target shooting.

For combat shooting practice, the grip is firmer to allow for faster target reacquisition.

[Schuey2002]

I squeeze my handguns until the front site starts to lighty shake, then i lighten up my grip until it stops..

It works for me..;)

[P95Carry]

Medium generally with a bias to firm. I have always been fortunate to have a reasonably ''independant'' trigger finger and so can grip quite tight. I like good control, without inducing any shakes.

I do tho with Weaver for example .. use a lot of weak hand grip and achieve considerable ''lock up'' that way .... with off hand shooting I do lighten my grip noticeably ..... a more ''laid back'' kinda hold.

[blades67]

The grip I use depends upon the gun in use.

[Soap]

Loose or tight? Yes. I go extremely loose when I'm shooting bullseye. But somehow my grip goes to dead weasel when I'm scared to death.

[STEVE M]

Grip as hard as I can. I know I have the same tension shot to shot that way.

[Chris Rhines]

As loose as I can while still maintaining control of the gun. I've found that a tight grip increases muzzle flip, screws up my shot-to-shot split time, and makes me tend to shoot low/left flyers.

Firm, but not a strangle hold :)
